Enthrone: ‘To seat on a throne’
The Essence of 85 Years of Offset Press Manufacturing Technologies in a Compact Body
The Enthrone, a machine in which Komori has complete confidence. As one printer called it, “Unmistakably, a small yet
mighty hero.” ‘Enthrone’ means ‘to seat on a throne.’ As the name of the press, it denotes Komori’s conviction:
‘The Enthrone will create new profits and lead to outstanding success.’
The Enthrone 29 (530 mm x 750 mm) half-size offset
press made its worldwide debut in May 2010 at IPEX
in Birmingham, UK. Since that dynamic debut, the
29-inch press has won a sterling reputation in all the major
markets. The development concept was ‘quality and performance
that resonate.’ The Enthrone incorporates the
high printing quality and leading-edge technologies that
Komori is known for. Designed with a configuration of
double-size impression cylinders and double-size transfer
cylinders, which are emblematic of concentrated functionality,
the press provides stable performance and the ability
to produce a wide range of printed items. Offering consistent
high print quality, reliable printing with a wide range
of sheet thicknesses, from 0.04 mm up to a maximum of
0.6 mm, and the ability to handle short-run work profitably,
the Enthrone significantly shortens changeover time
and maximizes economic efficiency by enabling changeover
from thin sheets to thick sheets without adjustment
of the height of the gripper pads on the transfer cylinders.
This press not only concentrates the basic performance
required of a press but also offers a compact footprint,
including an ergonomic step-less operator’s-side design,
that means it can be installed practically anywhere. The
extremely fast pace of today’s industry necessitates short
runs and tight delivery deadlines — work that entails
slender margins. A host of other thorny issues demand
solutions, always with the overriding requirement for high
print quality. Against this background, the Enthrone can
function as the primary machine — a press that will provide
the essential breakthrough for print solutions. Or, the
Enthrone will also deliver outstanding performance as a
‘sub-machine’ that will reliably produce profits. Certain
competence to meet all needs at the highest level.
